The Edward Peirce House-Henderson House of Northeastern University is a historic house at 99 Westcliff Road in Weston, Massachusetts. This large three story Tudor Revival house was built in 1927–28, on the site of an earlier Tudor house that burned in 1926. Edward Pierce, the owner, made a fortune in the wool business. The property passed into the hands of Roger Babson, before a nearly six-acre parcel was given to Northeastern University by one of its trustees, Ernest Henderson. The school uses the property as part of its continuing education programs and as a conference center. The house is the last surviving grand Tudor mansion of several that were once in Weston.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
